KINSHIP MEDICINE: Cultivating Interdependence to Heal the Earth and Ourselves is based in the premise that our well-being is rooted in relationships and connection--with each other and the natural world. Western medicine sees our bodies as machines to be repaired, but a more apt metaphor would be a garden, we are a part of nature. Your body itself is an ecosystem, existing inside progressively larger ecosystems until we consider the whole earth itself. We cannot be truly healthy when those ecosystems are sick and dying. Our modern way of living in most of the Western World is incompatible with maintaining the healthy ecosystems on which we depend. KINSHIP MEDICINE is aimed at raising awareness of the deep connection between our well being and the health of the natural world.
